Direct injection ls7 would mean new heads also 6/8 operation oh and start stop at red lights thanks all you greenies. Oh I have a 2012 Z06 with 19,400 miles on it 2 years old this Aug. 26 we shall see how the heads play out unless my money ship comes in 69 retired.

I have a 2012 too with just over 12K miles. Do you plan to have your valve guides checked? I have not had mine checked.

Not at this time I will buy extend warranty next year and go from there.
They supposedly fixed problem in Feb. 2011 we shall see. Head should have a cast in date as to time and month produced it is most likely under the valve covers. So I can't tell what month mine were produced. I need to find out where this is. Heads are cast ahead of time so this may not be a good indicator. My car was produced in Aug 2011 number 2,226 car produced so very early z06.
Ext warranty prices are under 2000 so the 800 to check will go for extended warranty.

Mine was built in November 2011. Were they still making 2012s in Aug 2012?

I might consider an extended warranty but have already put an intake, headers and tuned mine so the 36 month bumper to bumper is all I have left.

You can have ext warranty it will fix items not related to the engine I think.

So mine is about three months newer than yours. Hope GM had both of our valve trains fixed.
